Hi there. My name is Stephen and I am a dialysis RN for a large company. Most of my experience has been in medical/surgical realm, and labor and delivery. I have been in dialysis nearly a year as an RN. Im a former police officer and martial arts instructor/competitor.  I hear there are positive threads on this board, even for nurses, so i figured why not:)

I am a caregiver to my wonderful husband,  He is 4p and started PD October 2013. We have several living donors waiting to be tested for a transplant. Dialysis is a bridge to get us where we need to go. 
He had a transplant in November 2019.

Welcome to the board,, Stephen.  My experiences with my nurses and technicians during my 18 months of dialysis were all good.  As someone has already said,  your help is appreciated and your expertise is anticipated.    :waving; :waving;
